SHALL I… Shall I pick out the moonbeams From behind soft clouds, speckled with rain Knowing that one of them has shone upon you? Shall I ask the wind, stop here; Let me smell the scent that's borne on you To see if it is redolent of the one I love? Shall I ask the crickets and the grey owl If, with their hypnotic serenade, They've perhaps sung you to sleep? Shall I ask the dew- and its brother, the grass- That's been trodden upon by your feet How sweet and how light was your step? I want that sunbeam for myself, the one That's shining now upon your hair; I want to keep it so it lights my way But I shall ask the fates if they would, in their wisdom and grace, grant me a wish, we would lay an equal claim, always, to the other's heart.
